The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Eleva2ren (pun on "elevatoren" with "to" (2), in reference to TV 2) was a Danish live entertainment programme broadcast on TV 2 from 7 October 1988 to 17 May 1996. Produced by Nordisk Film's TV production unit, it aired on Friday nights and mixed entertainment, music and reports. Guests arrived in by an elevator – hence the name. A regular item on the show was the usage of interactive video games which were controlled using the viewer's telephone, the first of which was OsWALD, followed later on by the much more successful Hugo, which first appeared here before being exported around the world.
